Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

.Burdette came out with Nick s attending physician to speak to his mother.Her eyes swimming in tears, Cherise went over to them.Kody followed with Caleb until they stoodbehind her and Menyara.The others stayed back, giving Cherise room. Will he live? Cherise s voice shook.Dr.Burdette pulled her into a tight hug. Sugar? Didn t I tell you we weren t going to let that babydie? We have him stabilized and he s resting. Cherise s blue eyes widened. That sounds like there s a but in there. It was the male doctor who answered. There is.He s in a coma and we re not sure why. Frowning, Cherise reached out for the support of Menyara before turning her attention back to thedoctor. I don t understand.What do you mean? The doctor sighed. He has no reason to be in a coma.His injuries weren t that extreme.Don t getme wrong, they are bad, but not life-threatening.Not to mention there s a lot of brain activity going onthat we can t explain.It s like he s not really in a coma & that on some level he s highly alert, butnothing we do can revive him.& I ve never seen anything like this. Kody exchanged a nervous glance with Caleb. Are you thinking what I m thinking? shewhispered. Yeah.Nick s somewhere he doesn t need to be. If it s where I m thinking, I can t go. Caleb growled low in his throat. Yeah, that would wreck my sucky day even worse than what I mabout to go do. He winked at her before he headed out the door.Dr.Burdette squeezed Cherise tight. I can t imagine he won t come out of it in a day or two,honey.He will be fine, Cherise.You ll see. Cherise drew a ragged breath. I have told him so many times not to fight.Why couldn t he, foronce, just listen to me and do what I say? Why didn t he give over his wallet and He didn t fight his attacker, Kody interjected, wanting to protect Nick any way she could.Even from his own mother.Cherise frowned at her. What? That was the only thing he d say until he passed out.He wanted me to make sure you understoodthat he d done what you asked and hadn t fought back when he was attacked. She s right, the doctor concurred. All of his wounds were defensive, and not a single mark onhim says he fought back in any way.From the looks of his injuries, I d say he was on the ground in afetal position, covering his head with his arms the entire time he was being beaten. Cherise sobbed even harder. So I m the one who got him hurt like this.& Tears rolled down hercheeks. Oh God, what have I done? Kody rubbed her back. He just wants to please you, Mrs.Gautier.He d eat broken glass forbreakfast if you asked him to. But the self-loathing and torment in her blue eyes said that she wasn t going to forgive herselfanytime soon. Can I see him? she asked his doctor. Sure. Dr.Burdette led her to the back while Kody closed her eyes and tried to sense Caleb slocation.He was completely gone from this plane of existence.If he had descended into the Nether Realm to find Nick, it wouldn t be fun for him.Unlike her, he dknown the horrors of that place firsthand.What little she knew about it had come from others.You re too close to the Malachai, Nekoda.You re losing your objectivity.She knew that deep masculine voice inside her head.It came from Sraosha.His title was herguardian, but in truth, he was more like a warden who reported her every move to their superiors.I ve lost nothing.He grumbled, but didn t speak again.She knew what he and the others thought of her.That sheshould kill Nick and move on to the next Malachai.But her brother had promised her that within the balance that had allowed one of the Sephirii to turnagainst his own and bring them down, the Malachai could do the same.A Malachai would be bornwith equal balanced parts inside him just like Jared had been, and that that one special beast couldbe turned to their side and used against Noir and his sisters.Nick was the only one, in all these centuries, who d been born with that unique criteria.And therewould never be another.He was their one and only hope.If she and Caleb could turn him, they could stop Noir.Without his Malachai, he would becontrollable.Forever.However, Sraosha and the others were correct.If they failed to kill Nick before he came into all ofhis powers, because of that mixed blood he would be the only Malachai who could destroy all ofthem.He would truly be invincible.And they would all be dead or imprisoned. We are not assassins, she reminded Sraosha in her head.Especially not of children.He s not a child, Belam.You know that.He is the deadliest creature ever born.For now he sweak, but every day, he grows stronger.Deadlier.Meanwhile, you re growing weaker where he sconcerned.I m not weak.She had never been weak.Don t mistake my mercy for weakness.I assure you, if Iknow he is lost to us, I will cut his throat myself and deliver his heart to all of you.Because if shedidn t, he would destroy everyone she loved.The only problem was, he was fast becoming one of the people she loved most.You will do your duty.Sraosha pulled back from her.Yes, she would do her duty, and she would keep her promise to her brother.Even if it killed her.And especially if it meant killing Nick. CHAPTER 9In his raven form, Caleb drew up short as he found Nick in the last place he d expected.Under Thorn s protection in the center of hell.Or more pointedly, in Thorn s office, learning howto sword fight &The bright summer sun is shining in the darkest corner of Tartarus.That, and snow in August inNew Orleans would be more likely than the sight below him as he used his powers to see inside themassive black mansion.Thorn hated everyone.No, not hated.That was too kind a word for the uttercontempt and disdain he held for every living and undead creature in existence.His hatred was sointense it practically oozed out of his molecules.Centuries ago, the two of them had been friendly.At least as friendly as anyone could be withsomething like Thorn who only trusted others to screw him over.Ironically, that was what hadbonded them together their mutual disdain and mistrust for everyone else in existence.A true nihilist, Thorn believed in nothing.And nothing believed in him.Well, not entirely true.Caleb believed in Thorn s willingness to kill any and every thing aroundhim, especially if he found it or them annoying.This can t be good.Thorn taking a liking to you had to be the same as trying to befriend a starvingbear.Sooner or later, it was going to look over at you and think, Lunch.Yet there he was, protecting and teaching Nick.Talk about a mind freak.It went against all natural laws as Caleb knew them.Next thing, cobraswould be sleeping with mongeese.Not mongooses, cause that just sounded stupid to him.LSU andAlabama fans would be having cookouts together, and one might actually put the other out if he or shecaught fire.Yeah, and the mighty war god Ares would go picking roses with a Girl Scout troop.All of the above was much more likely than Thorn helping Nick.And Caleb refused to believe there was some selfless reason motivating this.There had to besomething in it for Thorn, or he wouldn t do it.But what?Tucking his wings in, Caleb swooped down to dive bomb them through an open window.Please don t let Thorn be sadistic enough to have glass there.&* * * For the first time ever, Nick heard the voices in the ether speaking.Some were left from past spiritswho d gone on, while echoes of their life forces remained trapped.Most were from the living & thethoughts they let out into the universe, never realizing beings who were sensitive could pick them upand hear their innermost secrets.The rest were warnings from the living things people didn t knowthey could communicate with.All you had to do was listen.It was like hearing static on a radio.Just noise at first and then above the friction, total clarity
